Who Else Writes Like...? A readers' guide to fiction authors

is an established reference book and reading promotion tool. It is designed to help anyone who enjoys reading fiction to expand the number of writers they read. It answers the dilemma facing those who have exhausted the output from a particular author — “What shall I read next?”

In this seventh edition over 2,040 authors are listed in alphabetical order, followed by a list of up to 12 suggested alternatives. So pick out an author whose books you like, and see which other writers are recommended underneath. For instance, if you like Bryce Courtenay, you might also like Nick Brownlee, Frank Coates and so on.

Additional information is given, where known:

• Dates of birth and death
• Nationality (or place of birth) of authors who are not English
• Genre and, in some cases, subgenre, or type of novel (unless ‘general’)
• Pseudonyms
• Characters and/or Environment, Occupation
• Prize winners
• Crossover (may be suitable for young adults)
• Also writes for children
